MOUNT ST. CHARLES COLLEGE, HELENA, MONTANA
December 3, 1927
Hilltoppers Finish Great Year on Grid
SIT FOOTBALL
ALLSTATE TEAMS
Good and Evans Are Selected by
Two Sports Writers.
With an outstanding football team
in the collegiate football world of
the state, Mount St. Charles finds
several of its stars being chosen on
mythical all-state elevens, selected
by sports writers of the Helena Independent and the Anaconda Standard. The Helena Independent placed
Johnny Good at quarterback, Evans
at end, Bedner at tackle, and the
brilliant Robinson at center on its
first team. Montana University was
given three places and the Bobcats
of the State College were named in
four positions. On the second team
the local pa^er selected Burr at
end, Murphy at guard, Nugent and
Jackson in the backfield playing
halfback and fullback respectively.
Standard Picks Evans, Good, Brace.
In naming its all-collegiate team,
the Anaconda Standard gives places
on the first team to three Fighting
Saints, and on the second mythical
combination chooses four Hilltoppers. Evans is again the choice of
the ends, with his remarkable ex-

Gold and Silver Medals to Be
Awarded to Winners.
On December 14 the manuscripts
for the annual short story contest
will be due. All entrants must turn
in their story on or before this date.
With the abundance of pen ability
present in the school, the competition promises to be very exciting, if
students will only perk up in their
interest. Every year since its inauguration a spirit of heated rivalry
has existed among the four classes,
with representatives from each class
striving to bring the coveted honors
to their " own organization. The
prizes awarded are a gold medal to
the winner of the first place, and
to the man that places second a silver medal is presented.
In past years, stories of professional caliber have frequently been
presented. Past issues of the PROSPECTOR in which the winning manuscripts have been published show
that in the past the short story
work of Mount St. Charles has not
been second to any college in the
country. It is to be hoped that the
contest of this year will bring forth
as many and as good products as
those that have gone, before. All
manuscripts are to be placed in the
hands of Father Riley not later than
December 14.
Top Row: Eaton (coach), Evans, Nash, Murphy, Thornberg, Bedner, McKenz'e, Gross, O'Connor, Keppler.
Middle Row: McDonald, Scheewe, Troy, Flynn, Maierle, Word, Hickham, Weggenman, Gelhausen, Garner, Leichner.

Fighting Saints
Have Great Team
Says Broadcaster
Radio in Shenandoah, Iowa, Tells
Country About St. Charles.
Mount St. Charles College is becoming known nationally. The city
of Helena is benefiting greatly.
There is no reason why it should
not be thus. Mount St. Charles football team has been matched with and
has proved itself the equal, and often
the superior of some of the best
teams in the Northwest. Sport writers and fans on the Coast began to
take notice and inquire about these
"Fighting Saints" of Mount St.
Charles College. They wondered
where this college was located and
were informed that it was at Helena,
the capital of Montana. They wondered who was coaching this team
with such a remarkable record and
were informed that the "Rockne of
the West"—Wilbur S. Eaton, former
Notre Dame star, was the Director
of Athletics.
Shenandoah Tells the World.
The "Fighting Saints" had made
a reputation that was to be envied.
They had delivered the goods. They
had not disappointed their coach and
their school. Their reputation and
the record they had made spread all
over the country and broadcasting
stations throughout the Middle West
and East heard of them and sent
their name and record over the air.
Shenandoah, Iowa, in giving out information about the city of Helena,
announced that it was the capital
of Montana and the home of Mount
St. Charles College, the school with
an "honest to God football team."
Congratulations to Coach and Team.
This is the publicity that will
make St. Charles one of the greatest
schools of its kind on the Pacific
Coast.

Press Replete With Glowing Remarks
for Coach Eaton's Powerful
Aggregation.
The football squad of 1927 has
raised Mount St. Charles College
fronrthe ranks of a college possessing a good team to one having, as
a radio announcer was pleased tb
term it, "an honest-to-God football
team." Through its brilliant performances, the team has blazed the
name of its Alma Mater access the
sport pages of the nation. By means
of stellar playing and surprising upsets, the Fighting Saints gained, for
themselves and their school, the recognition of sports writers and critics in all parts of the country. We
have no means of knowing exactly
how widespread this recognition has
been, but from the following excerpts the reader may be sure that
the entire West has read of the
Fighting Saints of Mount St. Charles
College:
Seattle Post Intelligencer—"Montana Team Had Class. There is another side to the 6-6 game at Pullman that probably hasn't been given
enough consideration. That is the
fact that Mount St. Charles had a
football team on Rogers field last
Saturday * * * and was not awed
in the elast by facing the team that
finished near the top in the Pacific
Coast race last season.

A notice has been posted on our
bulletin-board announcing the fact
that the manuscripts for the oratorical contest will be due on December 10. This activity has always
held the prominent place of all activities at M. S. C. C. We have all
the hopes in the world for the contest this' year. We see most of the
College students entered in the preliminaries. We see a winner from
St. Charles again winning the state
contest. We see all this. It is for
the students of the College to put
the dream into the realm of realities. There are about eighty students in the College department who
should enter the contest. All one
has to do is to pick his pet subject,
read it from all angles, write it out
and rewrite it. Then he is ready
to impress his views on the audience.
Simple, isn't it? Why, then, shouldn't
the students of Mount St. Charles
show great interest in the contest?
Speaking Is Valuable.
A list of suggestions will also appear for the student who is struck
with brain paralysis when attempting to figure out a subject. Take
a look at them. Maybe the topic
that you have been trying to tell
your pals about for the last three
months will be right there. If it is,
here's your chance to make them
listen for a while. Work up your
topic, make it interesting, make it
worth while. You will put your idea
across, and I assure you yours will
be the reward.

Win Fonr, Tie One, and Lose One
for Great Year;
Beginning the collegiate football
season with the biggest upset on the
Pacific Coast, the Fighting Saints
surprised the sporting fans of the
West when they held the strong
Washington State Cougars to a 6-6
tie in an exciting struggle. St.
Charles scored in the first five minutes of play after a 60-yard march
to the goal line with Gelhausen
skirting right end on a pretty run
for the last five yards. Gelhausen's
punting featured for the Saints, especially after the Hilltoppers held
the Cougars on the 8-inch mark,
when he booted the oval 55 yards.
It was a beautiful kick.
Lose to Grizzlies.
The second game on the schedule
was the contest with the University
of Montana, when the Saints suffered the only defeat of the season.
After the two teams had battled
without a score for three periods,
and but seven minutes of the final
quarter remained, the Grizzlies negotiated a 20-yard pass over the
goal line for their touchdown, after

Four Big Stars
Finish Varsity
Athletic Careers
Truckner, Nugent, Nash and Troy,
Football Stars, Graduate
This Tear.
Four of Mount St. Charles' outstanding athletes conclude their athletic careers at Hilltop with tho
close of the football season. These
men have fought at all times, in
mud, in *leet, in the most disagreeable weather, and to them Alma
Mater owes the heartiest of congratulations and the best of well- ,
wishes. Their sportsmanship is beyond question, their playing ability
ranks them with the best, their fighting heart the stoutest of them all.
St. Charles regrets their loss to the
team, and they will be sorely missed,
but Alma Mater wishes them all the
luck in the world in every undertaking that is theirs. The men who
will be graduated from this year's
squad are: Walter Truckner, captain
of the 1927 aggregation and stellar
end; James Nugent, captain in 1926,
and one of the greatest halfbacks
in the state, and no doubt the best
interference man; Frank Nash, brilliant and scrappy guard for the Hilltoppers for the last two years, and
William Troy, hard hitting fullback
who was injured in the early season, and prevented from playing the
remainder of the year. The PROSPECTOR takes this opportunity to
congratulate these men on their
achievements, and wishes them the
best of luck.
